Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture style consisting of guidelines and best practices for creating scalable web services.
Description
REST is a coordinated set of constraints applied to the design of components in a distributed hypermedia system that can lead to a more performant and maintainable software architecture.
World Wide Web
The World Wide Web represents the largest implementation of a system conforming to the REST architectural style.
REST has gained widespread acceptance across the Web as a simpler alternative to SOAP and WSDL-based web services.
RESTful systems typically, but not always, communicate over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the same HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) used by web browsers to retrieve web pages and send data to remote servers.
